Jaap Gidding: Art Deco in Nederland

The Rotterdam-born artist Jaap Gidding (1887-1955) began as an ornamental painter, but later became a designer of stained glass, carpets, furnishing fabrics, ceramics and glass. This lavishly illustrated monograph on Gidding, which was published to coincide with the exhibition of the same name staged in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, gives an overview of his work in text and pictures and examines how it was received, his life in Rotterdam and his close relations with Germany.
